Strap for Purist Typ 1 Stainless Steel / Blue

The Deutsche Uhrenmanufaktur Glashütte Purist Typ 1 P1NB-LB features a 20-millimetre lug width. This is the standard specification for watches of this case diameter (40mm). Always measure the distance between the spring bar pins before purchasing a replacement strap.

An alligator strap with vegetable tanning in cognac or dark brown tone represents the most harmonious choice with Glashütte aesthetics. For formal alternatives, black alligator imparts austerity without compromise. Those seeking versatility may consider vegetable-tanned calf or cotton NATO weave in grey-beige.

Equip yourself with a spring bar tool or consult a professional. Locate the lateral pins securing the strap to the case lugs. Apply gentle inward pressure to release the pins, then extract the worn strap. Insert the new strap by engaging the pins into their respective seats. Never force: a decisive yet gentle motion indicates correct execution.

Yes, provided they are certified for the 20-millimetre lug width specification. At Milano Straps you will find a curated collection of artisanal straps compatible with your watch: alligator, shell cordovan, calf, NATO and vulcanised rubber. Each strap has been tested to ensure perfect fit without compromising case pins.

A vegetable-tanned leather strap, worn daily, maintains structural integrity for 3–5 years. Longevity depends on frequency of use, exposure to moisture, and tanning quality. Premium leathers (alligator, shell cordovan) age gracefully, developing characteristic patina. We recommend periodic maintenance and rotation with alternative straps to maximise durability.
